Chapter 67: Fanning the Flames
Although Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun have not been in contact with Zhao Yi for a long time, it can be seen from the battle of Changshe that Zhao Yi is definitely a rare general. At this time, Zhang Jiao and the others scattered and left, if it was an ordinary general, they would definitely stick to their place and wait for the orders of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun before taking action.
But Zhao Yi is different, Zhao Yi can see the fighter at this time. If Zhao Yi succeeds in killing Zhang Jiao, then most of the credit for breaking the Yellow Turban Army will fall on Zhao Yi's head.
These two generals are already Zhonglang generals in the court, and although their official positions are not low, no one wants to climb high. Just give them a chance, and they'll find a way to climb the ladder.
Zhao Yi understands this, but he can't get over it in his heart, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's army will only arrive tonight, and a lot of things will happen in this time.
But seeing Sun Jian and the others kneeling in front of him in the camp tent, Zhao Yi sighed, and could only say one sentence, the official level crushed people to death.
The three Liu Bei brothers hurriedly came to Zhao Yi's tent, and when they saw Sun Jian and others, they paused in their footsteps, guessing the origin and intention of these generals. Ask: "Why did Brother Bolai order the soldiers to return to the camp?" It was Zhao Yi who gave the order at the beginning, and Liu Bei was moved, but at this time, he dismissed the soldiers, which made Liu Bei a little impatient.
Zhang Fei's reaction was much more than Liu Bei's: "Are you timid?" If you are cowardly, hand over the soldiers to my eldest brother to command, and without you Zhao Yi, we can still win the battle. ”
Zhao Yi smiled bitterly and told Sun Jian's identity and intention, Liu Bei's face changed twice, and he understood what Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun meant, they were afraid that they would rob them of their miracles.
At present, Zhao Yi cannot be compared with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun in terms of strength and fame in the court, so he can only tolerate it for the time being. Although there will be some exemptions from military orders abroad, it also depends on the situation. One situation is that there is a certainty of victory, and after this matter is successful, the official position of the reward will be higher than that of his own boss. The general's order was not carried out but you won the battle, which is a weakening of the general's prestige, which is equivalent to a slap in the face to the other party, saying that the general is inferior to you. At that time, even if you are talented, you will also be a thorn in the side of your boss. Unless you succeed in a higher rank than a general. Otherwise, you just wait for your boss to put on your little shoes.
There is also a situation where it is a last resort, when it comes to a critical moment, between life and death, that you can do this.
The two situations mentioned are not available at present, and Zhao Yi does not need to offend Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun because of this matter.
"General Sun, this is the opportunity for us to send troops, if we let the Yellow Turban Army have a chance to recuperate, it will be more difficult for us to deal with it in the future." Liu Bei explained the current situation and tried to use the situation to move Sun Jian.
Sun Jian has been fighting on the march for many years, and he knows no less about the current situation than Zhao Yi and Liu Bei, and he naturally knows that it is a good opportunity to pursue the Yellow Turban Army, but the two generals have already issued military orders, and Sun Jian can only carry them out.
And after seeing Zhao Yi, Sun Jian felt that Zhao Yi was too difficult to control and too sharp. In the battle with the Yellow Turban Army, even the reputation of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun was overshadowed by Zhao Yi. At this time, the Yellow Turban Army was frightened when they heard the word Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi should also give some credit to others.
Liu Bei's analysis was very accurate, but Sun Jian suppressed it with the military orders of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun: "General Liu, don't worry, we have to follow the orders of the two generals." ”
The words have already been said here, and Liu Bei knows that no matter how accurate his analysis is, it is useless. Zhao Yi had long known that it was useless to tell them about the current situation, so he kept silent.
If it weren't for Sun Jian and others present, Zhang Fei really wanted to scold Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to relieve their anger. At this time, his eyes were as wide as bells, and his tiger eyes were staring at Sun Jian and the others.
Zhao Yi asked Liu Bei and the three of them not to be impatient, "Brother Xuande is a little calm, the two generals are afraid that we will pursue the enemy lightly, so they have this plan, we should understand the painstaking efforts of the two generals." As he spoke, he glanced at Sun Jian and the four generals under him: "Brother Xuande, you and I have already been the targets of the Yellow Turban Army, and the two generals are as careful as hair. General Sun and his generals were sent to protect our safety. General Sun is a favorite general under General Zhu, and today General Zhu specially sent General Sun here, which is enough to see the general's painstaking efforts. ”
Liu Bei naturally understood the meaning of Zhao Yi's words, Zhao Yi was just saying that Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun had sent news, and even sent Sun Jian and others to monitor whether his subordinates acted in accordance with their military orders.
But the same words fell on Zhang Fei's ears, which was not the case, squinting at the generals under Sun Jian, and snorted lightly: "The eldest brother is safe and protected by me and the second brother, where do you need outsiders." Besides, what are they capable of? ”
The general's temper is not very good, and he can't stand being looked down upon by others, hearing Zhang Fei's words, Sun Jian and several generals around him all stared at Zhang Fei angrily, and a general on Sun Jian's left hand snorted coldly: "You black guy, how dare you look down on me so much!" ”
Zhang Fei's eyes widened, and the bronze lord in his hand fell heavily on the table, and there was already a tendency to do it. Liu Bei was just about to speak, but Zhao Yi spoke first: "How can Yide speak like this, General Sun's fierce generals are like clouds," and then turned his head to look at Sun Jian: "I have long heard that the generals have Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao, four tiger generals, all have the courage of ten thousand people, I don't know if one of the four generals can be one?" ”
Hearing that Zhao Yi was very appreciative of his department, Sun Jian showed joy on his face and introduced Zhao Yi: "General Zhao has won the award, and these people are Cheng Pu and others." ”
The person who spoke to Zhang Fei before was Cheng Pu: "Thank you General Zhao for the compliment." ”
Zhang Fei disagreed with Zhao Yi's praise, thinking that readers would always say something about the scene, and snorted lightly: "You have to see if you have real talent and learning, how can you believe it just by hearing about it." ”
The smiling faces of Cheng Pu and the others suddenly changed, and their eyes stared at Zhang Fei gloomily: "How are you doing?" Cheng Pu was already angry.
Zhang Fei was depressed at this time, and was about to find someone to vent his anger, staring at Cheng Pu and standing up: "I won't know until after the battle." "Zhang Fei is going to compete with Cheng Pu.
Liu Bei was beside him to persuade Zhang Fei not to cause trouble. Zhao Yi really wanted to see the competition between Zhang Fei and Cheng Pu and others, fanned the flames on the side, and said something that cared about Zhang Fei, especially that sentence, if General Cheng Pu stabbed Yide, how would it be good.
This sentence made Zhang Fei's anger explode instantly, and he stared at Cheng Pu angrily: "Don't you have the guts to compete?" ”
Cheng Pu stood up and looked at Zhang Fei without fear: "Why don't you dare!" Sun Jian did not stop Cheng Pu, Zhang Fei had already issued a provocation, as long as he was a bloody man, he would never allow others to say that he had no guts.
It's okay to compete, but the two sides are friendly forces, so they can't hurt each other's harmony, and the requirements are stopped. Zhao Yi was afraid of causing casualties and proposed the use of wooden sticks.
Liu Bei and Sun Jian hurriedly agreed, and said that Zhao Yi's method was very good. When Zhang Fei and Cheng Pu were preparing to fight, Liu Bei came to Zhao Yi: "Brother Bolai, my third brother is short-tempered, you don't know, how can you provoke him with words." ”
"Brother Xuande, don't worry, although Cheng Pu is strong in martial arts, he is not Yide's opponent. Don't you want to let out this bad breath? Zhao Yi stared at Liu Bei with a smile.
Liu Bei did not answer Zhao Yi's words, but came to Zhang Fei's side and whispered two sentences: "Stop at the point, don't kill people." ”
Although the warring parties use wooden sticks, in the hands of generals like Zhang Fei, wooden sticks also have great lethality.
As Zhao Yi shouted, the two famous generals rushed towards each other with wooden sticks in their mouths, and the wooden sticks of the two sides collided with each other and made a dull sound.
Cheng Pu took two steps back, and said in his heart that this black guy should not be underestimated. The wooden stick in Zhang Fei's hand flipped to Cheng Pu's chest and stabbed him, and Cheng Pu hurriedly blocked. This was followed by the crackling of wooden sticks.
Sun Jian and the others, who were watching the battle on the side, were very nervous when they heard the whirring wind caused by the friction between the wooden stick and the air. At this speed, even if a wooden stick hits the body, it will cause serious injuries.
The two sides have been fighting for dozens of rounds, Cheng Pu is not Zhang Fei's opponent after all, he is already on the defensive at this time, but Zhang Fei's attack is still fierce.
Sun Jian and others were ready to rescue, and the corners of Zhao Yi's mouth showed joy, and he said that the veteran of Dongwu is really powerful, no wonder Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others can become the mainstay of Dongwu in the future.
Zhang Fei suddenly knocked open the wooden stick in front of him, and the bearer of the wooden stick in his hand smashed towards Cheng Pu's head with an indomitable momentum.
"Stop!" Sun Jian hurriedly drank Zhang Fei, this wooden stick went down, and Cheng Pu'an was killed. Cheng Pu is a first-class general under Sun Jian, and it is a pity that he died in the competition field.
At this time, it was too late to stop, Zhang Fei changed the angle abruptly, and also reduced a little force, and smashed on Cheng Pu's shoulder. Cheng Pu snorted, and the wooden stick in his hand suddenly couldn't hold it and fell to the ground. Sun Jian and others hurriedly came over to check on Cheng Pu's injury, his shoulder was already swollen, and I am afraid that the swelling will not be able to go down for a month. This is also thanks to Zhang Fei's mercy, if Zhang Fei hadn't reduced his strength, he would have been able to smash Cheng Pu's shoulder blades this time.
Huang Gai has always been good friends with Cheng Pu, and when he saw his friend in such a miserable situation at this time, he wanted to find Zhang Fei for revenge. was stopped by Sun Jian. Huang Gai's force is one line worse than Cheng Pu's, and it is naturally a failure to deal with Zhang Fei: "General Zhang is really brave, and Wentai admires him very much. ”
After fighting for such a long time, Zhang Fei's resentment almost dissipated, and he threw the wooden stick back to Liu Bei. Sun Jian glanced at Liu Bei twice. Sun Jian had only heard of Zhao Yi's name before, didn't know? Who is Liu Xuande. But seeing that Zhang Fei turned out to be Liu Bei's subordinate, Sun Jian also looked at Liu Bei twice.
Sun Jian originally thought that the reason why Zhao Yi's department was so famous was because of Zhao Yi's resourcefulness, but seeing Zhang Fei's combat power today, Sun Jian knew that he was wrong, and he had to re-evaluate the strength of Zhao Yi's department.
Cheng Pu was sent down to apply medicine, and Sun Jian's arrogance was subdued a lot, and they became polite to Zhao Yi and Liu Bei. It was getting late, and the spies came with a message: "Generals, the army of officers and soldiers is almost at the camp. ”
